German Bustamante

Self-taught abstract artist German Bustamante was born in Chile in 1970, but he was raised and educated in North West England.

His penchant for drawing and painting started at the age of 10, motivated by his grandfather's charcoal drawings and the characters and illustrations he saw in the comic books he read. Throughout his life, German has always been an avid reader and his artistic inspiration has been mainly based on literature and philosophy.

Abstraction has allowed him to express his own spiritual and metaphysical vision of life, represented by symbolic imagery, coming from a psycho-emotional point of view.

He is an affiliate artist at The Circle Foundation for the Arts in France, and has been selected as a member of Artboxy, a platform for artists in Switzerland, and a member of Biafarin, a Canadian art business platform. His work has been purchased and commissioned by private collectors and realtors in Chile and Hong Kong.

Articles and interviews about his paintings have appeared in contemporary art magazines such as: Spotlight, Observica, AlTiba9 and The Artists Corner.
